Netflix has released the trailer for the new Sandra Bullock film, The Unforgivable.
Bullock plays a woman recently released from prison after serving 20 years for murder. In the trailer, we see her on a mission to reconnect with her younger sister but the actions of her past continue to follow her.
The film also stars Viola Davis, Jon Bernthal, Vincent D’Onofrio, Rob Morgan and Richard Thomas. It debuts in select theaters November 24 and will be available on Netflix December 10.
Bullock’s previous movie with Netflix, 2018’s Bird Box, was a massive hit for the streaming service.
The 2016 film Captain America: Civil War featured many Avengers, including Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, and, of course, Chris Evans‘ Captain America.
Conspicuously missing, however, was Chris Hemsworth‘s Thor, and, according to Buzzfeed, he reveals the awkward way he found out the god of thunder didn’t make the cut, as detailed in the new book The Story of Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“I remember being on the Age of Ultron press tour, and everyone was talking about Civil War. I was like, ‘What’s Civil War?’ I asked, ‘Are you doing a side project or something?’” he recalled.
“They’re like, ‘Oh no, Captain America, y’know? The next one is Civil War.’ I’m like, ‘Wait … Iron Man’s in that?’”
“And it’s like, ‘Yeah, but there’s not just Iron Man. There’s Vision [and] Spider-Man” — played respectively by Paul Bettany and Tom Holland — he continues. “[Marvel] said, ‘You’re doing your own thing’…I thought, ‘This is it. I’m being written out.’”
Of course, that wasn’t the case. Hemsworth’s appeared in his fair share of MCU films since that moment of panic, most notably in 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok, as well as Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame in 2018 and 2019, and in the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder, set to open July 8, 2022.

In a candid new interview, Amanda Seyfried revealed the “trauma” she suffered as a result of her second pregnancy.
Speaking with People, the Mank actress opened up about the difficult birth of her son, whom she welcomed last year.
“I had something that went wrong with my second birth. The baby was okay but it was tricky and it was painful and it didn’t have to happen, and it did so it added an extra level of trauma,” said Seyfried, 35, who also shares a four-year-old daughter with husband Thomas Sadoski.
Seyfried assured, “I’m okay. It was a very physical thing and it was a spinal thing, but I’m okay.” She declined to share more about her condition. But, because of the grueling recovery process on top of raising two children at once, the actress said she had to take extra precautions to ensure her mental health didn’t suffer during the delicate time.
“I was terrified of suffering from postpartum depression,” the Oscar nominee admitted. “I ended up doing a lot of CBT therapy before I had my first kid and then I was really lucky, I didn’t suffer from any depression and I felt like I had won in some way.”
“It was hard, and it was so hard, the struggle, but it wasn’t anything I didn’t think I could handle. And with my second kid, that’s partly because I was on my medication and I never got off of it,” she continued.
Seyfried also explained that dealing with hospital bills further complicated things, adding, “I went to the doctor every week at the end of my pregnancy and all of sudden it’s like, ‘Bye, here’s some hospital bills!’ I mean, I kept receiving them and I’m still healing from something.”
Director and screenwriter Jeymes Samuel says he couldn’t have picked two more perfect actors to portray real-life cowboy and Old West hero Nat Love for his 2013 short film They Die by Dawn and his 2021 directorial feature debut, The Harder They Fall.
In They Die by Dawn, Samuel tapped the late Michael K. Williams for the role of Love, which the director reveals was his first encounter with the talented Wire actor.
“When I used to watch him act, he would embody heartbreak in such a poetic way,” Samuel tells ABC Audio. “He’d embody heartbreak and vulnerability with such strength. And that was Nat Love for me…I couldn’t see anyone else playing him — just the way that he portrays heartbreak and the beauty of everything he’s gone through…and…gives you hope on camera and off.”
Samuels says it was those important characteristics that made Williams the “quintessential Nat Love” for his film. Not surprisingly, when it came time to make The Harder They Fall, Samuel says he looked for similar qualities.
“I came across Jonathan Majors and he had the same thing,” Samuel says of Majors’ “much younger” portrayal of Love. “The way he finds strength through vulnerability is so beautiful.”
Although Samuel says the two projects are very “different,” the director notes that he felt a significant connection to both Williams and Majors.
“[Majors] sent me a poem of the mental workings of Nat Love [and] I knew it was him,” Samuel says of how Majors landed the role. “And then [Majors and Williams] did Lovecraft [Country] together, unbeknownst to me. And then they forged a beautiful friendship with themselves. So it’s almost like Nat Love bonded all of us in real life.
The Harder They Fall is now in select theaters and debuts on Netflix on November 3.

As the investigation continues into the accidental shooting on the set of the Alec Baldwin film Rust, new details have emerged about the assistant director who handed Baldwin the prop gun that ended up killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza.
A producer on the movie Freedom’s Path confirms to ABC News that assistant director Dave Halls was fired from that film in 2019 after a gun mishap on set.
“First of all, our condolences go out to everyone affected by the recent tragic event in New Mexico,” the unnamed producer says in a statement.
“I can confirm that Dave Halls was fired from the set of ‘Freedom’s Path’ in 2019 after a crew member incurred a minor and temporary injury when a gun was unexpectedly discharged,” the producer continues. “Halls was removed from set immediately after the prop gun discharged. Production did not resume filming until Dave was off-site. An incident report was taken and filed at that time.”
According to a search warrant affidavit from the Santa Fe Sheriff’s Office regarding the Rust incident, Halls yelled “Cold gun!” before handing the prop weapon to Baldwin — a phrase that indicates the gun is not loaded. Halls reportedly told police he didn’t know the pistol was loaded.
Gal Gadot is set to return in Wonder Woman 3 and, as hinted by the actress, so are her children.
Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Gadot was asked if there’s a chance her husband and their three kids will make a cameo in the upcoming movie.
“Well, we might,” she replied, but declined to say for certain. “They can get used to it. It’s a nice souvenir in each movie they’re going to be older and older.”
Gadot, 36, shares three daughters with husband Yaron Varsano: 10-year-old Alma, four-year-old Maya, and Daniella, who was born in June.
The Red Notice actress said she doesn’t take her family’s cameos lightly, adding that she is always thinking back to what her husband told her after Alma was born.
“He told me, ‘It’s for you to choose, but just think about what kind of example you want to set for her,'” she recalled. “So I just think about it as a win-win and of course something’s always got to give. We can’t be just perfect, but the only thing we can do is just give our best and do our best.”
The recently confirmed Wonder Woman 3, which is rumored to be the third and final installment, will also star original TV Wonder Woman Lynda Carter. A release date has yet to be announced.
Angelina Jolie says she is the kind of mother that wants her kids to raid her closet, which explains why her daughters have been spotted wearing familiar outfits on the red carpet these days.
Speaking with E!’s Daily Pop, the Eternals actress said she encourages her children to pick through her wardrobe and take what they want.
“I’m like, ‘Oh my god, wear it and wear it better than me! Take it, it’s your turn,'” Jolie raved, noting that she is the “opposite” of the kind of parent who is territorial over their personal belongings.
Jolie is the mom of Maddox, 20, Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 15, and twins Vivienne and Knox, who are 13, whom she shares with ex Brad Pitt.
Jolie, who stars as Thena in Eternals, also explained why she wanted to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, saying the diverse cast seen in Eternals reminded her of her own family — and that excited her.
“It was now going to be a family that represented the world we live in, and for that, I said, ‘I don’t care the size of my role or what it is, I just want to back that family,” she said. “I wanted to see this family onscreen, so we all joined without having read the script. We all joined with a lot of faith but understanding that there was a message behind this film, that we are stronger together, and that this was going to be a very diverse, inclusive and different family. It was a love letter to humanity.”
The Eternals premieres in theaters on November 5.

Just two months after pledging to love each other for the rest of their lives, Katie Thurston and Blake Moynes, who got engaged on The Bachelorette‘s season 17 finale, have called it quits.
“It is with mutual love and respect that we have decided to go our separate ways,” the 30-year-old former bank marketing manager shared Monday on Instagram. “We are so grateful for the moments we shared together and the entire journey that has unfolded this year, but we ultimately have concluded that we are not compatible as life partners, and it is the most caring choice for both of us to move forward independently.”
“We ask for kindness and privacy as we both navigate this transition,” she continued. “Both of us will forever want the best for one another and ask you to please support us in our decision.”
Blake, 31, shared the same statement on his Instagram.
A source tells the New York Post that their long-distance relationship — Thurston’s a Washington native who relocated to San Diego, and Moynes is Canadian — became “too difficult to navigate.”
“It was exhausting to maintain a long-distance relationship,” the insider continued. “Still, at one point, Katie seemed all in with Blake and was super hopeful that he would one day become her husband. But all the attention from the show put this unspoken pressure on the relationship that they weren’t prepared for.”
Eventually, adds the source, “Katie and Blake’s discussions about marriage became less and less and they had to admit to each that it wasn’t going to work out. But there’s no bad blood and they really hope to remain friends.”
When it comes to sponsored posts, celebrities can leverage their popularity for a hefty paycheck. Hopper HQ has estimated just how much that adds up to and published the top results on their Instagram Rich List.
For 2021, it appears Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who ranked atop the list for 2020, has been dethroned from the top spot — and not by Kylie Jenner, who previously trailed right behind him.
This year the top spot goes to the U.K.’s Manchester United soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, who can pull in an estimated $1,604,000 for a sponsored post shared with his nearly 296 million Instagram followers.
Johnson didn’t fall too far down the list as a result of Ronaldo’s rise, though — he’s now number two, while Jenner has fallen to number four. Ariana Grande holds the third spot.
Other celebrities who appear in the top 10 are Kim Kardashian, Selena Gomez and Beyoncé.
The former host of The Bachelor handed out his final rose to the Entertainment Tonight host and producer over the weekend at a winery in Napa Valley, California.
The newly engaged couple announced the happy news on social media on Monday, with them each sharing snapshots of the moment Harrison got down on one knee.
“I love you @laurenzima The next chapter starts now!” Harrison, 50, declared in his caption.
Meanwhile, Zima, 33, gushed, “We tell each other this all the time, and we said it again in an unforgettably beautiful moment this weekend: I didn’t know love could be like this. You are the most incredible partner. Thank you for loving me, championing me and asking me to marry you. Here’s to the next amazing chapter, and all the rest.”
This will be the second marriage for both of the lovebirds. Harrison has two children from his previous marriage.
